Balukhand Konark sanctuary is a wildlife sanctuary located in odisha.  Little of the native flora remains. The sanctuary is home to a herd of spotted deers. You can found variety of birds, snakes and reptiles . Got opportunity to visit this place way back in 2018, Sharing few images from that trip

Nice place between Puri and Konarak. Worth to visit if one visit from Puri to Konarak through Marine drive.

Wonderful place, crowded with people. The tides are very high. The place is a wonderful place. A lot if tourists arrive here and the place is crowded with people. The sea sound is dominating at this place. Cool breeze flowing around. There are special lodges and eateries to stay and have food. There are public paid toilets nearby. Easy availability of buses to go. A variety of seafood is sold over there as well as there are availability of the seafood. Its believed that these areas were previously covered by the huge sea which touched the periphery of Sun temple. The place is maintained to attract more tourists.

The sanctuary is located on the shore of Bay of Bengal. The place is extremely beautiful and looks heavenly! I have been to that place almost 6 times and every time it was full of excitement. It is about 5-7 kms from the famous Sun temple, Konark. The sanctuary is a dense forest where you can spot deers if you are lucky. The beat part is the road! It is so beautiful with trees making canopy from both the sides. The trees alongside the road is painted white and looks so stunning! While driving from Konark to puri on your left you will experience dense forest, in the front the beautiful road and on the right the vast and mighty Bay of Bengal with it's serene beach. There are few resorts also where you can experience the forest and the environment there with some local delicacies. I would recommend you visiting the place at least once!

Not much impressed from this place, felt like for accessing the beach we were wasting our money... For me it's better if u visit the puri konark marine drive beach it's better and free of cost.... This place only has a guest house and a beach , you wouldn't find any animals there but the name is wildlife sanctuary lmao.... Apart from the that the natural habitat is good and it's a one time visit....

This is located near puri konark marine drive. This wildlife Sanctuary doesn't have many species of animals to see but you can encounter several plant species. There's a guest house inside the sanctuary. You can reach to a beach from this sanctuary which is quite secluded and less crowd.

A very good ambience of the museum. And very informative regarding the history of konark temple. It's consists of an auditorium in which they show a movie of 20 mins, which is animated one, and it's about the how the konark temple was formed and what was the motive behind it and those things. And in the museum they even have the sculptures and each is having a different significance. And the museum information does not only bound us to historical part but also many architectural, design parameters also which were used while building the temple. Overall i would one should go through the museum first and then go to the temple. And for better understanding of the temple visit to museum is must.

Unforgettable experience . The morning sunrise , was most beautiful , and the catching moment over there. We went from bbsr and we reached there at 5 am morning . Reach by 5 , then u can see the beauty of our nature , the colour of the sky , all was unimaginable. Nothing more in the beach. chandrabhaga beach has always the high tide , so I recommend u to be careful while u go inside water and enjoy there . Don't think it is same as Puri . We can't explain u why , but it is . I will like to mention . Do u like crab ? Sand colour crab ... Not that we get in the market . That kind of crab can be seen if u go far ahead from the crowd . Walk along the bank of the sea , and go a distance , then u can see the crab crawling on the sand .

Preserved by ASI and forest department, also maintaned by seperate authority appointed is awesome, cleanliness is on priority mainly at Sun Temple and Chandrabhaga beach, you will find reasonably good food and stay, there are several handicraft goods sold by locals. You will find a peaceful environment for your holidays. You can enjoy on beach, visit musium set by ASI, go for shopping, and rest in natural and fresh air. It is awesome feeling you may realise. Best time to visit is Nov to May.

The balukhand Konark wildlife sanctuary is truly a marvelous place. Jungle with a virgin sea beach makes a wonderful combination. It is located on the Puri Konark highway. It is wonderful place for the nature lovers. After getting permission from the gate of sanctuary one can drive through the dense forest upto the sea beach. The jungle is really beautiful. Chitals can frequently sighted inside the jungle. Apart from chitals a few black bucks are also present but rarely sighted. There is no accomodation for the tourists inside the sanctuary. The beach is really very beautiful with numerous tamarisk tree present along the side of the beach . The beach is really a virgin one and it is recommended that one should enter into it The sanctuary remains closed in the month of February as Olive riddley turtles visits the beach for laying eggs. Overall the place is worth visiting

Love the place.... 💕 Had some good time Family😍 You have to be careful otherwise people will fool you 😉

This wildlife Sanctuary has lots of deer and also variety species of animals

Very good best beach and konark temple i like it

It's good place for one day visit. But be safe

One of the best place to drive away. This stretch of almost 15km would give you immense pleasure for its lonely clean road and the breathtaking greenery. Not much wood animal you would find other than in night time. But, we can park at any point after Ramchandi to experience the Golden beach.

Aswm places

Balukhada is a less known place tourist while visiting Puri. Besides Lord Jagannath temple & beaches ,few more things are available in Puri . While visiting early morning @ Knonark Sun temple please visit Balukhada . I got some pleasant & refreshing morning views.

One of the most scenic places ever. The forest will give you eternal peace amidst the greenery and you can witness the magnificent view of River Nuanai meeting the sea.

Beautiful view

One of the best beaches in Odisha...Must visit place

I feel come to the foreign countries like a awesome area.

Relaxing wildlife sanctuary right on the east coast

few kilometers away from Lotus Eco Beach Resort, Konark, the Balukhand-Konark Wildlife Sanctuary draws in nature lovers from all around the world. Encompassing 73 square kilometers of land, the Balukhand-Konark Wildlife Sanctuary is pinched between Puri and Konark along the Bay of Bengal and offers a unique take on similar wildlife reserves. The popular Marine Drive Road traverses through this area. One side of the stretch overlooks an endless sea while the other side showcases the dense vegetation of Orissa. Pristine and undulating sand dunes, desolate beaches and native herbs, shrubs, and plantations lined across the beach offering a verdant scenery. The ecologically sensitive wildlife sanctuary also housing two rivers - the Nuanai and the Kushabhadra, is one of the famous places to visit near Puri. These rivers under tidal influence pass through the sanctuary area supporting more than three hundred plant and animal species in the forest area. Blackbucks, spotted deer, striped hyenas, and the extremely endangered Olive Ridley sea turtles are the main attractions in this wildlife sanctuary.

Best picnic spot

clean beach, if you do not find it clean, go ahead walk around you will find.

It's a good place for observe nature also for spending your free time. I suggest go and visit the place but one bad thing is road road is not very good in fact if you are driving in fogy morning it's too dengorious to travel anyway I suggest travel after sunrise and be safe.

experienced a lot about the sculpture art.

Eco retreat is very good and safe for travellers (solo, family, couples)

Very Good Place for enjoying in holidays with families and friends 😜 Sea beach is so fabulous. Enjoy the bath and do lots of fun. 😍🥳😎🤘🤟

Beautiful place to visit.

Konark ~ sleepy but Ancient majestic place to visit. Konark temple or known as Surya Temple is unisco world heritage . The temple is must visit and Highly recommend place when you visit to Odisha . Konark town is somewhat not equipped to stay exception is beach stays. Wildlife area and sanctuary are plenty and beaming with species ,but due to Bana-bhoji ( family picnic ) by local people, littering , plastics ..it scar to be amazing scenery. Roads are easily accessible and road ride eatery are readily available Along side highway.

The beat time to visit at around 3 pm
